All things are possible, especially sobriety. We can't do it alone.

You can physically stop one person, but not the movement. Not the ideas and certainly not the faith.

Is Timothy referring to God's laws or man's law? I am a bit uncertain. Certainly, laws are put in place because any society needs laws that protect them. When the laws are distorted and deliberately twisted for evil intents, that is LAWFARE and it has been used by men and women in power. They have sinned. Will they be punished? I don't know. They will have to answer to God.

Do we ever achieve Wisdom? Progress, not perfection, and wisdom are needed to know the difference.

Before I read this post, I thought: I am so tired of the fighting, the nasty rhetoric etc. It's very hard to deal with GOD is in control. It's not immediate in most cases and very difficult to feel and calm down.

Also, when we look at both names of God together we must acknowledge that there may be periods of our lives when God is caring for us, leading us through something, and providing something that we may not be able to see, perhaps not even during our natural lives.
So, is God guiding me through this landlord situation? It is comforting and yet, I/WE need to see results. I keep going on and I go to meetings almost every day.

Definitely a sign for today's world and 99% of our politicians.

I was on Sunday, April 7. I didn't see the board updated.
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 1 John 5:14
It's hard to know God's will for us. Is it simple or complicated? We(I) often ask for help with something and what happens is I figure it out myself. I am not sure if that means that God has given me the solution. Then there are many times when the answer(s) are not forthcoming and that leads to stress and despair.

Definitely not following any false gods or prophets; but hope and prayer for Honest elections.

The human heart often lives and survives. Often contradictions, pain, and suffering of all kinds. It's very hard to keep our higher power in sight. "each according to his way." I hope God is on my side and it's been very difficult to feel this way. I haven't given up.

I liked this post a great deal. When I pray I am speaking to God although it often sounds like He doesn't hear I am facing more Housing Court because of a greedy landlord. I am praying and going to meetings almost every day. Being 68 (I am old) is not easy when you need to find housing is so hard. I will continue to pray.

they are loved by Lord; while God holds out in "many and various ways" salvation for all people, He uniquely loves those are believers, the elect (not of own choosing or doing), whom He makes alive in Christ with this unique "choosing or saving love", also described by Paul as great love
God has a very strange way of showing His love. Very. Where is the love when Hell has been and still is so much of your life? I have no idea.

We can have guides; however, make sure we do not put them on pedestals. It is increasingly difficult to find spiritual guides. Everyone is beyond human with so many frailities.

I don't think we are in the last days although it often feels like we are. I read different things about money from the Bible and while they appear to offer hope, the reality is so different. Worry is worry. Fear is Fear and we are human. We have these worries and fears and they directly affect our lives, our sanity, and our way of relating to people places, and things. It is more than difficult to seek solace when facing life-changing decisions.

I am puzzled a bit by this line: Day 4 focuses on Isaiah 66, where once again, we see contrasting outcomes for those who practice empty sacrificial rituals but do not truly seek and love God (v3-4, 15-17, 24), vs those who are contrite in heart and humble - fearing and seeking God and loving Him (v2, 10-14) We have so many frailties as humans we can never live up to perfection. We can love and worship God, do small acts of charity, and help others to overcome addictions but we are completely imperfect. I wait for God's timing and it's beyond tiring. It's stress and anxiety to the point of feeling sick.
